Session description

Engage students more in challenge-based learning through gamification and build their efficacy on climate change. Learn about the research about games made for environmental issues. Hear from instructional technology leaders about their experience. Test an exemplar resource yourself and get everything you need to implement your plan next year.

Outline

We will review the research from United Nations Environment Programme’s on how video games can deliver for environmental education for about 15 mins.
In the next 10 mins, we’ll introduce an example technology - League for Green Leaders, and highlight the engagement students will get and the simulations that can help students with their investigation.
Hear from Alfredo and his experience and observation when he implemented the League program, get the practical tips from him on implementing the challenge-based learning. About 20 mins.
Invite the group to write down their high level ideas on implementing their challenge-based projects next year. Open the floor to questions and discussions for 15 mins
